Wow I need help!

Unfortunately, I can’t find anyone else with this issue. So clearly the problem is between the chair and keyboard. I apologize for wasting anyone’s time with this, but I’ve been stuck for days and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. So, thank you in advance.

I am not a programmer!

So here’s my issue: I just can’t seem to get anything working correctly. I have a theme (dynamix) which supports buddypress.I have buddypress installed and activated with bbpress. But when I try to create a new forum, it gets created in a place that I don’t have access to.

For example, I go to dashboard > Forums > New Forum > and I create a new forum (usually with some sarcastic name because I’m frustrated)

That forum gets created with the forum slug and the forum base.

So, let’s say I have my forum base set to X
My forum slug set to Y

When I publish the a new forum, let’s call it “Imstupid”, it goes to: http://www.(mysite).com/ [forum page]/X/Y/imstupid

My assumption is that it would go directly to the spot where X is, like: http://www.(mysite).com/imstupid.

Is it possible there’s an issue with some older pages that I’ve created and deleted? I have emptied the trash on the old pages.

So, I want people to be able to click on my forum page (it’s not named forums, by the way) and have a list of forums right there. As it stands now, not only are the forums I have created not there, but I can’t even get to them!

Thank you, again, in advance for your help. And God bless anyone who help me figure this out!
